The Acoustic Blues Guitar Program

As most indigenous American music (Jazz, Hip Hop, Funk, Classic Rock) comes from Blues it makes technical, theoretical and historical sense to study Blues first, as you would study core curriculum in college, before electives.

This course is accelerated and graduated…graduated in the sense that, the first song (Hendrix’s "Red House") is very easy. The next song is a little harder, until by the time you reach the tenth song ("Same Old Blues" by Freddie King) you can play any song you can hear. That is the promise I make to all my beginning students. This course is  accelerated in the sense that the more you learn, the faster you learn. By that I mean, you can learn something difficult, faster, like Robert Johnson’s "Crossroads", if you’ve learned John Lee Hooker’s "Gonna Miss You When You’re Gone", first…that saves you time and gets you to the music you want to be playing more quickly...after you get done studying the Blues.
